Built using metal parts of 100% 304 18/8 grade stainless steel (the same quality of stainless steel used for your knives, forks, and spoons), your collar's metal parts WILL NOT RUST with regular exposure to water. You can wear the collar 24/7/365 if you so desire. Perspiration and other bodily fluids will not harm the gear, however, you should bathe with it on, or rinse it off when you take it off for storage. There is no need to use soap when cleaning your gear, unless it has become oily.

You can wear your LAGARTO GEAR in the rain, shower, bath, swimming pool, hot tub, spa, lake, river, and even the ocean.

Exposure to seawater may cause minor rust spotting if not cleaned afterward. To keep rust from forming, rinse your gear with tap water after it has been exposed to salt water.
